The scroll bar for Firefox cannot be controlled by the mouse, the only way I can scroll is with the arrow keys, help!!

I have a brand new Dell Alienware laptop running Windows 7 and I just installed the latest Firefox browser. My problem is that the scroll bar for the browser does not work when using the mouse... the mouse cannot control the scroll bar either by clicking the up or down arrow or by dragging the bar with the mouse. The only way for me to scroll using Firefox is to use the arrow keys on my keyboard.

Firefox is placing a cursor in the html window of pages that cannot be edited messing up the scroll option using the arrow keys

Whenever I click in a window pane to scroll using my arrow keys it is placing a cursor in the window and scrolling off of it, instead of scrolling the entire page by using the arrow key it is scrolling by the cursor location inside of the window like a word document.

The scroll bar on the right is gone. the only way i can move the screen up or down is by using the arrow keys. happened after i updated software is there something i missing

The scroll bar on the right is gone the only way I can move the screen up or down is with the arrow keys Why how do i get it back and have it stay there

Yep. For all us spreadsheet geeks, this is a real sinker. Anyway, here's my workaround. Not free, unfortunately. I have a macro program called QuicKeys installed on my Mac that I've used for countless years, and which I highly recommend for other reasons. Anyway, one of QuicKeys' many features is simulating a scroll wheel using the keyboard. I have it simulating a cell-by-cell scroll using cmd-arrow keys. The only drawback is that I have to release the cmd key each time I want to move another cell.

I'm running Windows 7 on a laptop & Firefox has lost its Menu Bar for Firefox. It says it's turned on, but I can't see it. I have googled various options to try & get it back, but nothing works.

Downloaded Mozbackup & backed up all bookmarks, extensions, passwords (not settings)
Uninstalled Firefox completely (Using REVO Uninstaller)
Reboot
Re-install Firefox
...Ran MozBackup & restored profile
Woo HOO !!
The problem was an add on: Hide Caption Titlebar Plus
Once I uninstalled that - the menu returned
Thanks for your support anyway

I forgot my Apple ID security question answers and cannot contact iTunes support by phone. The only way I can ask for help is via email. How can I make that happen?             Thanks

Hi! So I haven't used iTunes in a few months but I just got an iTunes gift card and want to make a purchase. iTunes redeemed it just fine but now that I want to make a purchase I am having problems. I can't remember my security question answers and iTunes is requesting them. I have two other verified emails but the are NOT rescue emails. I can't contact iTunes over the phone because my phone lines are out and are going to be out for a long time. The only way I can contact them is by email. How can I do this? Is there an easy way to just reset all my security questions? Please help a girl out. I just want my music!
Thanks so much

Is there a way to adjust the Scroll bar? Because when I press the arrows key once it goes straight to the bottom of the page rather than going down gradually.

Before when I pressed the arrow key to navigate up and down the screen it would do it gradually. After I up graded to the current version it now skips down to the very bottom of the page.

I can't scroll using the arrow keys!!

I have been having a problem lately where I cannot scroll within applications using the up and down arrow keys. on my macbook, using the arrow keys is something i liked to do to scroll in a page instead of using the trackpad, and now it doesn't work... I've noticed it in every web browser installed on the laptop (Safari, Firefox, Camino) and also doesn't work in itunes (making it annoying to easily scroll to another song in the library!) or AIM or other programs... anybody know how I can fix this? thanks.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Full keyboard access is useful for people who have difficulty using a mouse. Safari supports standard full keyboard access shortcuts for buttons and menus. If you choose, you can also use the keyboard to highlight links in webpages.
To turn on full keyboard access:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Keyboard & Mouse.
Click Keyboard Shortcuts.
Select the checkbox to turn on full keyboard access.
To highlight links in webpages using the Tab key:
Choose Safari > Preferences and click Advanced.
Select the option to highlight each item on the web page using the Tab key.
With full keyboard access turned on, Safari uses the standard shortcut keys to access menus and windows, plus the additional shortcuts shown in the table.
Hope this helps!!

How do I get the arrow keys to move one character at a time in the address bar or search box?

I can no longer get the arrow keys to advance or retard "one character at a time" in the address bar, the search box, or on any form in Firefox. This feature works in other browsers without a problem. The "Home" and "End" keys do not work either. How do I fix this behavior?

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

When I click on text in a page, an I-bar appears where I click which then can be moved with the arrow keys, just like a Word document.

I have reinstalled Firefox twice, each time downloading a new installer exe from the website. I have also updated all plug-ins. This is a continual problem, as this makes normal scrolling impossible because the arrow keys move the I bar.

Your More system details list show that you run the latest Firefox 4.0.1 version.<br />
You can check that via Help > About Firefox and on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
If you posted from another computer then download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I have a Belkin bluetooth keyboard attached to my Ipad 3. I would like to know if there is any way to have the arrow keys scroll down when browsing web pages?

I just got my Ipad 3rd generation a few days ago and for my case I got the bulky BELKIN Bluetooth keyboard. I notice that when I press down the arrow keys it does not seem to scroll down when searching a web browser or looking up web pages. However it works fine when scrolling down on office apps such as Pages. I'm wondering if is there a way to make the arrow keys on the keyboard scroll down when on an internet web page like my Mac does.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I understand that Firefox is no longer working on your Windows Tablet. The development of Metro did stop and has been discontinued. However what version were you on before this started to happen?

Firefox is opening multiple windows without my request. The only way I can stop it is by rebooting my computer.

Fairly often when I open Firefox, it continues to open multiple windows (hundreds of them) without my request. The only way I can stop it is to reboot the computer.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Several weeks ago

Hello Sally.
This looks like some virus or spyware. Scan your system for infection.
Or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
